FIRST FIX Carpentry in Northampton

First fix carpentry is the service carried out once the wet trades have come to an end. Once the foundations have been laid down in a building, the carpenter will carry out a series of duties until the internal walls are ready for plastering. First fix carpentry can be regarded as the stage before the last layer of a building is created. It consists of various services, which often include the building of stud walls, joists, plasterboarding, roof struts, the fabrication and fitting or staircases, door and window frame installation and flooring work. A great deal of first fix carpentry work is structural, which means the results can’t normally be seen by the time the project is completed. Nonetheless, the integrity of the structure largely depends on first fix carpentry.
